ALC Fox Posted 17 August 2020 Author Share Posted 17 August 2020 29 minutes ago, Lesta2014 said: Why is he hyped so much after a championship loan? Is it because he was at Leeds? Would we be seeing £50 million quotes if he was at West Brom or Fulham on loan? I guess sometimes the right loan move at the right time just works and you don't know what they're going to be like until they play first-team football at a certain level. Jovic was sent on loan from Benfica to Frankfurt which earned him his move to Real, for example. I guess Brighton didn't quite know how ready he was, and they had enough Premier League quality CBs to get them through and let them see how White got on at a promotion-chasing Leeds. Having said all that, £50m is steep for someone who hasn't been tested at this level, but if the interest from the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, and Spurs is genuine, then perhaps he is worth the fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of my friends, who like to demonstrate their knowledge of tennis players by proudly announcing 'never heard of them'. ?? It was an honest "I've never heard from him" but now we're linked with a £50m bid, no need to get so uppity about it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence they want to buy him. He is quality from what I've seen and would like him but I'd like to see how he fairs at Brighton in the PL first. Also at £50 you'd want a more complete package than a player with good potential. Edited 17 August 2020 by Fox92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had a rough time at Man City and often been used as a scapegoat. We'll have to agree to differ on this one. Completely overrated IMO. Career has gone backwards massively. Looks like a rabbit caught in car headlights when under pressure. Rarely gets a game at Man City nowadays. CB is their weakest position but they quite often play other players who are not defenders rather than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnfox Posted 17 August 2020 Share Posted 17 August 2020 Brighton would be mad to sell. Get him in the first team, gain premier league experience, watch him get an England cap and sell next year to Utd for £100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 17 August 2020 Share Posted 17 August 2020 Nobody is paying £50m. It's like us asking £159m for Chilwell or something stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't foresee White being one of them next season. A promising youngster but better value to be had elsewhere. £50m is too much for White, agreed but in today's market that price wouldn't get you near most of the Leagues top CB's.

Shipman Out Posted 17 August 2020 Share Posted 17 August 2020 The only reason I’d be happy with it is to piss Leeds fans off cos they are w***king over him. The lad who mentioned if he had a successful loan spell at WBA last season would he cost as much? No he wouldn’t. Fact. I saw a few of there games and didn’t notice him much, but hope he does well....at BHAFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc sheff Posted 17 August 2020 Share Posted 17 August 2020 He’s got every chance to be playing for England this season, so the question is will a club take a gamble on him for £25-£40m in hopes he gets into the England gold and suddenly becomes Maguires value? Or could he flop... IMO he’s worth the gamble but £50m would be way too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Fox Posted 17 August 2020 Share Posted 17 August 2020 (edited) Leeds fans (being typical Leeds fans) and even some of their players are trying to force their club to get the deal done. The #FreeBenWhite all over social media is embarrassing and it’s likely going to get BHAFC a shed loads more cash than if it hadn’t happened. He was good last season, but the ‘he’s one of us’ mentality of Leeds Utd has kicked in and played right into Brighton’s hands. Either way, Brighton get White back after a good season on loan, or they get a massively inflated price due to his current demand at Leeds. Edit - Only Leeds could take a player on a season long loan and think they have a devine right to keep him. All the while, take a player on loan with a clause to buy and think they don’t have to honour it. Edited 17 August 2020 by Leeds Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
